10442 10.30848/PJB2022-5(13) <p> Integrated management of Fusarium wilt of chilli caused by <em>Fusarium oxysporum</em> f. sp. <em>Capsici</em> through different management approaches</p> Noor Muhammad, Nasir Ahmed Rajput, Muhammad Atiq, Shahbaz Talib Sahi, Abdul Rehman, Akhtar Hameed, Ghalib Ayaz Kachelo and Siraj Ahmed <p style="margin-left:.25in;"> Fusarium wilt (<em>Fusarium oxysporum </em>f. sp. <em>capsici</em>) of reduces the yield of chilli annually. For management of this destructive disease, five plant extracts (<em>Moringa oleifera, Zingiber officinale</em>, <em>Azadirachta indica</em>, <em>Aloe vera</em>, and <em>Allium sativum</em>) @ 10 and 15% and four chemicals (Carbendazim, Topsin-M, Capnazol and Aliette) @ 300 and 500 ppm were evaluated by poisoned food technique. Among all treatments,<em> M. oleifera</em> and Carbendazim showed maximum reduction in mycelial growth. Furthermore, six different plant activators were evaluated under the field condition @ 0.5, 0.75 and 1% concentrations respectively. Salicylic acid showed minimum disease incidence followed by benzoic acid, citric acid K₂HPO₄, KH₂PO₄ and ascorbic acid respectively. <em>M. oleifera, </em>salicylic acid and carbendazim were evaluated alone and in combination against Fusarium wilt under field conditions. Minimum disease incidence was shown by salicylic acid + <em>M. oleifera + </em>carbendazim followed by Salicylic acid + Carbendazim, <em>Moringa oleifera </em>+ Carbendazim, Carbendazim, Salicylic acid + <em>Moringa oleifera, </em>Salicylic acid and <em>Moringa oleifera</em> respectively as compared to control. It is concluded that combination of salicylic acid + <em>M. oleifera + </em>carbendazim showed minimum disease incidence under field conditions.</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> Published 2022 54 5 1963 1970
